In contrast to this home's traditional façade with its pretty shutters – the inside draws inspiration from the 70s with its sunny yellows and retro furniture. We love the funky monochrome floors here. Outside, in the stylish, private garden, you'll find sun loungers, as well as a hot tub – perfect for watching the sunset with a glass of Prosecco, then enjoy dinner under the lights of the gazebo. This home has a fantastic location in one of Florence's most sought-after residential areas. Piazzale Michelangelo, a sixteen-minute stroll away, is situated on a hill on the south bank of the Arno River – it has stunning vistas of the city and a bronze replica of Michelangelo's David. Accademia Gallery, which displays the actual statue, as well as Botticelli's Madonna and Child, is a twenty-minute saunter, while the Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti are both under a thirty-minute walk.

About Arcetri
Arcetri is a quiet area that sits behind the riverside neighbourhoods of Santo Spirito and San Niccolò.
